I like DeepSeek because of their pricing, although I'm still evaluating. I wonder if I'll need a VPN in the future to access it though (from EU). Cheap is good, cheap prevails.

The official DeepSeek API is routed through AWS load balancing btw.


If you own a store and people walk in, you observe this and take a mental note. You know who visits the store. If you sell tokens, you know who buys and what people buy. It's just that now, the metadata (what I buy, when I buy, what I look like) and my intrinsics (my data) are one. I send tokens, get tokens back. If there was a way to round-robin somehow across vendors to control who gets what, I'd do it.

When contracting out manufacturing, it's common sense to spread across manufacturers, so no single manufacturer has everything. They may have half a shell. Or an peripheral module without the core. Or a core without anything around it.


Dutch disease. Govt. just needs to keep the cash cows happy. Everybody else is irrelevant; just critters roaming the land.

To what extend is this real? What is the probability this will enter law fully? Is it just a proposal?

I think this progressive/gentic vide coding would work better if the tools were better and storing the history in a good immutable way, kind of like an email program. I have very valuable sessions where I give the agent a good ephemeral spec, something not sensible to persist in the codebase, but important enough to track it somewhere. Throwing away history is a big no no. Bad GUIs/TUIs discourage from relying on the history. When I close a session, I feel I'm throwing away the history. I keep many terminals open, but eventually have to close them. Tools will get way, way better to facilitate this "general on the frontlines commanding the agents" style of work.

I think the concept can and will work and become the norm, but there is a lot of refinement and first-principles rethinking still needed. The ideas we see today are still unripe and need work. But we are on to something here.

100%. I believe the best thing to do now is find ways to push the limits of what works and what not, which will help find the following limits, and keep going

This is amazing. I think systems like this will power many things in the future; especially professional use of desktop systems. Basiscally most types of desk work, be it low or high skill.

Thanks! I too believe this, unsure how it will actually look, but the pattern of AI employees is clearly rising.

It's really hilariously written

Yes, I've been thinking this as well. Although, earlier civilisations probably also consumed lots of stimulants; mayas, incas, probably countless more.

Plus, plenty, maybe half, of humans/mammals do not respond to caffeine in positive ways. While one half are evangelical, the rest manage with water.

True

I love this, very fun writing
